Summary
The dam, primarily used for recreation, is an earth-type construction standing at a height of 14 feet with a storage capacity of 81 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment rating, the dam's condition has not been officially assessed, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its safety and functionality.
Located within the Vicksburg District, the dam features an uncontrolled spillway and covers a surface area of 9.8 acres. While there are no associated structures or locks, the dam serves as a vital resource for water storage and recreational activities in the area. With its state-regulated status and enforcement measures in place, Ms06728 Lake Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and mitigating potential risks associated with its operation.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts monitor the developments of dams like Ms06728 Lake Dam, it is essential to recognize the importance of proper management and maintenance practices to uphold their structural integrity and functionality over time. By staying informed about regulatory oversight, inspection protocols, and risk assessment strategies, stakeholders can contribute to the sustainable utilization of these critical water infrastructure assets while safeguarding the surrounding environment and communities.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
